Brand Ambassador Programme Terms

These terms govern participation in the CrunchJunkie Brand Ambassador Programme (the "Programme"), operated by Tiki-Taka Media GmbH ("CrunchJunkie", "we", "us"). By applying to or participating in the Programme, you agree to these terms. They are separate from our customer Terms of Service and from the customer refer-a-friend programme. The English version of these terms is the binding version; any translation is provided for convenience only.

The Programme is open to individuals and businesses who promote CrunchJunkie to a genuine audience. Participation is by application and approval, and we may accept or decline any application at our discretion. You must be able to enter into a binding agreement and comply with all laws and platform rules that apply to how you promote CrunchJunkie.

On approval, we provide you with a unique referral link and access to an ambassador portal. When a person visits through your link, we place a first-party cookie that attributes them to you for thirty (30) days on a last-touch basis; a person who signs up within that window is credited to you. Attribution depends on the visitor allowing that cookie and not clearing it or using a different device or browser. CrunchJunkie's records are the authority on attribution and conversion status.

You earn commission on the net subscription revenue — the amount actually paid by the referred customer, after payment-processor fees — for each completed billing cycle of a subscription you refer, for as long as that subscription remains active and paid. Your commission rate is the rate stated in your approval confirmation and shown in your ambassador portal. Commission does not accrue on free trials, on unpaid or past-due periods, on taxes or duties, or on any amount that is refunded or charged back (see clause 6).

Commissions are paid manually, in arrears, after each completed billing cycle, following a short clearing period to allow for refunds and chargebacks. Payment is made to the bank or payment details you provide, on request or on a periodic basis as we operate the Programme. You are solely responsible for any taxes on your commission; where required you will provide a valid invoice, and amounts may be subject to VAT. We may set a minimum payout threshold and, if we do, will state it in your portal.

No commission is payable on any payment that is refunded or charged back. Where commission has already been credited for a payment that is later refunded or charged back, that commission is reversed, and any amount already paid out to you may be set off against your future commission or reclaimed. This clause applies regardless of any other provision in these terms, including the lifetime guarantee in clause 11.

To keep the Programme fair, you must not: refer your own account or accounts you own or control (no self-referral); bid on CrunchJunkie brand terms in paid search, or run advertising that misrepresents CrunchJunkie or implies you are CrunchJunkie; post your referral link on coupon, voucher, cashback, discount-code or deal-aggregator sites; send spam or make false, misleading or unsubstantiated claims; imply an official, employment or partnership relationship with CrunchJunkie; or breach any law or the rules of any platform you use. We may withhold or reverse commission on, and remove, any referral obtained in breach of this clause.

You participate in the Programme as an independent party. Nothing in these terms creates an employment, agency, partnership or joint-venture relationship, and you have no authority to make any commitment or representation on CrunchJunkie's behalf.

We may provide brand assets for use in the Programme. You may use them only as provided, must not alter them, and must not use them in any way that implies CrunchJunkie created, endorses or is responsible for content that is not ours. We may withdraw permission to use our brand at any time.

You may leave the Programme at any time. We may suspend or terminate your participation, and withhold or reverse unpaid commission, where you materially breach these terms or we reasonably suspect fraud or abuse (including self-referral, fake or duplicate accounts, brand bidding or prohibited placements). Where your participation ends WITHOUT such cause — for example, you choose to leave, or we discontinue the Programme — commission on subscriptions you referred before it ended continues to be payable in accordance with clause 11. The lifetime guarantee in clause 11 does not apply where your participation is terminated for cause under this clause.

We may change, suspend or discontinue the Programme — including commission rates, payout terms, eligibility criteria and these terms — at any time and at our discretion. Any change to the commission rate applies only to subscriptions referred after the change takes effect. Commission on subscriptions you have already referred is not affected by such changes: it remains payable at your agreed rate for the lifetime of each such subscription, for as long as that subscription stays active and paid — subject only to the refund and clawback rule in clause 6 and to termination for cause under clause 10. Material changes will be communicated to active ambassadors, and your continued participation after a change means you accept it for future referrals.

These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The English version of these terms is the binding version, and any translation is provided for convenience only.
